KYIV, Jan 26 - Bosch und Siemens Hausgerate GmbH, or BSH, Europe’s leading household appliance company, plans to expand its store chain in Ukrainian regions in 2018, BSH Pobutova Tekhnika Director General Serhiy Maksymov said.

He said at present, the chain has around 40 stores (the first Bosch store was opened in 1998) and will probably open five new stores by the end of the year.

A company that wants to open a store of the chain receives a permit only from the Ukrainian distributor.
